: Probably : fdisk-3.04.tgz and e2fsprogs-1.01, though they are not directly : related to the kernel.
Please do not advertise fdisk-3.04.tgz. A hacker can make it do wonderful things, but as experience has shown many users have difficulty figuring out how to use it. Somebody (probably me) must write cfdisk-3.04.tgz first. Anyway, as you say, it is not directly related to the kernel.
Something that *is* closely related to the kernel is kbd-0.91.tar.gz found on ftp.funet.fi, near the kernel.
Maybe also mount-2.5X.tar.gz, found in ftp.win.tue.nl:/pub/linux/util. Currently X=h, I think. Slackware has included very old versions for a long time.
There is already an e2fsprogs-1.02.tar.gz.
